    Shield has posted that on here somewhere before. Suits shirts and tie for the guys. Smart trouser/skirt suit for the girlies (not too high on the heels)

    Good luck my lovelies!!!! Enjoy xx

    I think that is where I saw it. Looking at the PCA thread I am glad to get that out of the way for the time being. Seems to be a point of conflicting opinions at the moment!

    Maybe apprehensive would be the word. Think it gets real after this weekend and we will be pushed hard. Think most of us will have met before at fitness and that, the banter will be great!

    I don't know if they have a fitness range for the guys! Didn't see anything today- decathlon is great for both but it was so cheap in primark for tops I just had to stock up!

    If you take a look in the 14.05 campaign news thread and read through the history there you might see what scores people are down to?

    I think those who got through the first batch of processing are around 78-77 AC score. I am not 100% on this.

    Started doing a bit more fitness this week too!

    dont worry about small logos, or a few white stripes on your training gear. As long as its black and not offensive it will be fine! Congrats to everyone starting soon! It will be good craic!

    I cant get through the number we were given. I've called at least 12 times and got nothing, I've even went through the non-emergency number and still got no answer. Need some help please.

    Call the number at the bottom of the letter and ask them to put you through to the police training college? Strange they are not answering, maybe the guards on the phones are on lunch haha!

    It's suits for guys, don't be the one who turns up too casual as you will stand out to the trainers

    I'd probably go for white background just to be safe I know it needs to be white cream or grey for a passport

    I believe the first intake is a pretty standard size of squad, 37-38 people I think got offered a place in the training.

    Seen a bit on TV tonight, really bizarre the different range of ages of the Rookies. Fair play to them though, with all their mistakes,or things they could have handled better on screen etc

    Getting along dead on just about finished the online learning. Have bought nothing yet haha, I've a shopping list for this weekend.

    I don't think you could put 40 hours into the online learning realistically, 10 would be more like it..?

    Where to buy an ironing cloth? You can get them on eBay for a few quid or if you want to make yourself known to me in there you can use away at mine- if you mean tips about ironing I'm hopeless and can't be of much use :P

    Just get a tea towel that isn't fluffy. it does the same job. It's just handy for your trousers (the iron directly on them makes them melt).
